Pitch conditions
The Basin Reserve has been one of New Zealand’s favorite hunting grounds, Dhoni said he was "expecting a green track" and was "a bit surprised" at the pitch. "Looks like a nice track, so the bowlers will have to put in a hard job again. If batsmen are careful and their approach is good, you may see big scores on the board."
Wellington Weather
Fine weather is predicted for tomorrow while there might be isolated showers on the 4th and 5th days of the match

Vettori said "I haven’t seen a Basin wicket as brown as this and as dry as this ever before," it is expected that the pitch may break up as the match progresses which will play into India’s hands.
"We certainly don’t do any strategising around playing for a draw. We want to go and win every Test match and that’s going to be our intention in this one." Gary Kirsten, the India coach, said his team will not play to protect their lead.
